"the Terrascopædia bridges the aesthetic divide between Arts and Crafts movement publications and twentieth-century music fanzines. This series is something very special." Fiddlers Green magazine
"With hand-cut paper and as much attention to artistry as the musicians it features inside, the publication is one of a kind - a rare example of format and subject matter working together in perfect harmony" Pressing Matters, issue 7
Terrascopædia issue 27 - published April 2026
Terrascopædia issue 27 - published in April 2026. Interviews include psychedelic folk singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist & producer Greg Weeks; Welsh guitar wizard (& astrophysicist) Gwenifer Raymond; the story behind one of the finest, and to my mind most underrated, of 1970s British country-rock albums - the sole LP by Cross & Ross; and an interview with the equally legendary (and equally Welsh) guitarist/songwriter Toby Hay. Plus the usual news and views from the desk of the editor. As ever, each copy is entirely typeset by hand from cover to cover, primarily in 14pt Caslon; and printed on hand-cut, acid-free laid paper on a 1926 vintage Arab treadle press. Cover size: Large Post Quarto (8 inches by 10 inches). 28 pages. 160 copies printed.
Price per copy: UK £18.00, Europe £20.00, USA £25.00, Rest of the World (incl. Canada and Australia) £27.00

A voluntary donation helps ensure future editions of the Terrascopædia can be made. Each sheet of paper we buy for example costs £3 (over $4). I can get 4 pages of Terrascopædia from a single sheet. One 28 page copy of the magazine requires 7 sheets of paper, which is £21 ($28). I can just about cover costs through sales currently, but help is always welcomed and very much appreciated.
